Job Interviews are always a nerve-wrecking experience. You want to make sure you are confident, prepared and ready to answer any questions the interviewer has for you.
To aid with practice and preparation, Inside Success has prepared some potential questions you may be asked during your interview:
- What characteristics do you have that will make you stand out in this company? What traits can you bring to the company that will improve how it is now? List any prior roles, successes, or experiences.
- What is your greatest flaw/weakness? Talk about past experiences either from previous jobs or in life. Be sure to talk about how you have overcome it or what you would do if you were placed in that position again.
- What is the greatest strength that you can bring to this role? Research what this role entails and discuss how you would be best suited for the job.
- What mistake you’ve made, and how you dealt with it? Use this to acknowledge when you had to deal with something and how you fixed the situation. This question is to show you problem-solving skills and adaptability.
- State a time when you disagreed with a peer or manager and how you resolved the situation. This is to see how you han- dle situations and maintain a professional mindset and attitude. Express the com- munication and conflict management you displayed.
- When have you had to balance pri- orities? Talk about balancing university or school and work and hobbies, maintaining a work/life balance and skills such as multitasking, organization, and scheduling.
